2020 Gunderloch "Pettenthal" GG Riesling
Gunderloch
Rheinhessen, Germany
Gunderloch's 2020 Pettenthal GG is clear, bright, ripe and elegant yet still yeasty on the nose. Delicately juicy and round in the mouth, with fine, crystalline acidity structure and increasing intensity, this is a still-creamy yet persistently salty and tensioned Riesling with mouth-filling elegance and piquancy. Needs time. Tasted in Wiesbaden at the end of August 2021. Drink 2026 - 2040.

The ripe yet cool, peachy nose with a touch of exotic fruit gives this some real appeal. Then, on the rather generous and juicy palate there’s nice silkiness. Good, but not stunning length. Drink now. Screw cap.
